This book offers a calm, measured, yet forthright and effective approach to regaining interior peace. Here you ll find no argument for retreat from the modern world; instead these pages provide you with a practical guide to recovering self-mastery and interior peace through wise choices and ordered activity in the midst of the world s communication chaos. Are you increasingly frustrated and perplexed in this digital age? Do you yearn for a mind that is more focused and a soul able to put down that IPhone and simply rejoice in the good and the true? It s not hard to do. The saints and the wise can show you how; this book makes their counsel available to you. Review "This potent dose of reality confirms what I have often said to my students: that metaphysics can be of practical help in daily life. A Mind at Peace guides us to reclaiming what we may not know we have lost." Rev. Paul N. Check, Rector St. John Fisher Seminary Residence, Diocese of Bridgeport "In an age besotted with what Pascal would have called distraction (divertissement), Messrs. Hochschild and Blum have drawn deeply from the font of Catholic wisdom to produce a mental and spiritual cure. In this profound and beautifully written book, they help us put aside our distractions and focus our minds and hearts again on what is truly important." Randall B.
